About Me

Adam and I met on a chat room when we were 17. It was 4 years before we met in person. We have spent most of our married life in Georgia but we are finally back in Utah where we a few acres and hope to start a little homestead soon. We have 7 dogs and 2 cats. I like all things crafty, active, pioneery and outdoors and this is the place where I record all I'm learning and doing.

Ooey, gooey goodness

I don't know if I was just in the right mood last night or if this was just especially good but whatever the reason, I loved it. I ate a bite fresh from the oven and it was gooey and oozed everywhere. I had to wait for it to cool off before I could actually get it out of the pan without it falling apart. I took some straight over to Barry and Lanette so I wouldn't eat it all. Yum, yum! I even had all of the ingredients on hand and I never have the ice cream topping but I think I was just meant to make these!

Directions:1. Preheat oven to 350°.2. Cream brown sugar and margarine.3. Add dry ingredients reserving 3 Tbsp of flour and stir in the oatmeal.4. Press 1/2 of the mixture in the bottom of a greased 8 x 8 pan and bake for 10 minutes.5. Sprinkle chocolate chips over crust.6. Mix caramel topping with the reserved flour.7. Drizzle this over the chips.8. Sprinkle the top with the remaining crumb mixture.9. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. (I had to bake for 20 minutes.)

Valerie, the reason they can't eat caramel is because it's too sticky and can pull brackets off but this isn't sticky at all...it's made with the caramel ice cream topping which is almost liquid so it's safe even for braces wearers. You could always call their orthodontist to be sure but I wouldn't be worried aboutit at all.
